Exclamation I definitely have a MOTO Q9h with WiFi - is this rare??

Hi guys and girls,

I recently purchased what appears to be an AT&T branded Q9h used on the craigslist classifieds locally. It is unlocked, and I am using it on the Rogers wireless network in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It definitely has WiFi because I use it to connect to my wireless network at home. It also has GPS built in and the maps.

Have I stumbled upon something rare?

I was looking through other posts and someone posted pictures of another Q9h with WiFi and many people on here were calling it a hoax. I beg to differ. My WiFi screen looks exactly the same. I thought maybe I was using data, so I called Rogers and blocked data just in case. It still works perfectly and finds wireless networks often.

I am not posting this to start a flame war, etc. This is not a hoax. I live in Toronto and am more than willing to meet up and let someone who knows what they are doing look at the phone and extract the software, etc. If there is something enabling this in the software or firmware, I am more than willing to share. The guy I bought it from said he got it from his brother in the USA, who loaded all the software, etc.

When I have some time later this week or the weekend I will post pictures of whatever you wish. I have nothing to hide. I just want to clear this up, because I was going to sell the phone today and everyone who replied to my ad insisted it is impossible, and one guy even went to the extent of calling Motorola international - and they said the phone never came with WiFi!!!!!!!

So what the hell am I using??????????

I hope to figure this out soon and hopefully share whatever mine has with the rest of you - if possible of course.

Again, this is not a hoax, I have nothing to gain or brag about. I only bought this phone because I wanted to go back to a Motorola phone after dropping my 1st gen iPhone, making it a brick. I find my Q9h fairly bulky and would like something thinner and smaller - but since it's so rare, I'm going to keep it until I figure out what the heck it is.

Thanks.

-mike

i believe there were (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day) a few test units that had wifi built in and somehow you must have stubbled upon one
i believe there was another user here who had one but hasnt been here in a long while

any how consider yourself lucky...so yes it would be rare to have wifi built in to a Q9h

Sherri - there is no wifi card (no external wifi card at least)

Scott - thanks, I'm hoping it is software / firmware related so we can possibly extract it and share

This almost reminds me of the old days of when i had my MOTO v3i - when i turned my 'regular' v3i into at v3i with iTunes (when people said it was absolutely impossible)
